Too true

Patronising restriction on a person's bodily autonomy. "Go away now and really think about this procedure. Come back in a few days if you are sure".

When else is this part of medical care?

The Connolly Campaign created a movement elevating solidarity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability of language, communities and our planet as priorities and values.

Let's build on that momentum with tonight's #keepleft launch

A brilliant article Philip!

Nearly 1 million people voted for @catherinegalway.bsky.social in our #Presidential #election on Friday. She is our next Uachtarán na hÉireann

We started this conversation in Galway many years ago among our committed Catherine supporters: Would she? Could she?

And when she did, you all came on board, it became possible. Míle Buíochas to everyone who believed in this dream 🙏 We made it a reality ❤️

What a magical, emotional day! Started at 9am as ballots tumbled onto count tables, and we tallied alongside volunteers, activists, politicians of all hues. Then up to Dublin Castle for the national count and the final announcement.

What community did you visit for the first time on this #Presidential #campaign #aras2025 and what was your impression?

So 2 journalists and a production team planned a high stakes #Presidential #debate and they could not come up with one new or creative question. I'm not a journo, but here are a few:
What is your vision for Ireland in 5yrs, 10yrs, 20yrs?
Who have you met during your campaign who inspires you? 1/2

What a joy to listen to @catherinegalway.bsky.social @universityofgalway.bsky.social #Lit&Deb this week.
Here Catherine Connolly speaks of respecting her hosts, their plans for the evening, and her willingness to take questions throughout this campaign #integrity #respect #aras2025

Unless someho…" You’d have to wonder how anyone would vote anything other than @catherine.connollytd for President after that debate. Unless somehow trolls and the media and algorithms get involved. Good luck and go vote #catherineconnolly #irishpresident Who do you like?

As this #campaign continues, the certainty that @catherinegalway.bsky.social is the only choice for #president grows and grows. #Catherine exudes empathy, insight, integrity and deep grasp of complex issues

'Serious questions' about release of details relating to Ursula Ní Shionnain, Connolly says | BreakingNews Ms Connolly admitted that it had upset her that Ms Ní Shionnain found herself in the media spotlight due to her connection with her.

Smear campaigns only work if targets try to run from their actions. Deputy Connolly, standing firm on her actions, turns table on accusers, in defense of a citizen's privacy, and her critics' hypocrisy

"This is not peace, it's a colonial carve up. And one of it's purposes is to try and demobilise people. They are now scared."

Don't let the obscene "peace plan" of US & Israel distract you from the reality.

Continue to mobilise and follow the example of Italian workers - we must shut things down.

Make sure to at least vote in a way that cancels out your landlord's vote.

Opinion: Those outraged by a €100k bike shed should look at the annual cost of renting out car park spaces We have completely normalised investment in congestion, pollution and the continuation of car-first planning, writes Ciarán Cannon.

'The real scandal here is not “bike shed groundhog day.” It’s the groundhog day of car dependency, subsidised at vast public expense, locking us into congestion, pollution, poor health and missed climate targets.'

Great piece from @ciarancannon.bsky.social
